Severe heatwaves are forecasted in north and northwest India, including Delhi and Haryana, during the upcoming elections on May 25. The India Meteorological Department warns of extreme heat conditions lasting five days. Additionally, government data reveals that water levels in 150 reservoirs are at a five-year low. The reservoirs are now at only 25% capacity, affecting drinking water, irrigation, and hydro-power generation. Voters in the affected regions will face challenging conditions due to the intense heat. Authorities are urged to ensure adequate cooling and water facilities at polling stations.
